Doctor Who returns in NEW MINISODE "The Great Detective"

By Elliott Serrano, For RedEye

With the dark cloud that hangs over us all with the loss of Twinkies in America, we get a brief sliver of sunshine in the arrival of a new Doctor Who "minisode" which just aired in the UK as part of the BBC's "Children In Need" television fundraiser.

This "minisode" titled "The Great Detective" leads into the Christmas Special which will be airing on BBC America over the Christmas holiday. It gives us a glimpse of the Doctor's current state-of-mind, and even a brief preview of the chemistry between Matt Smith and his new "companion" Jenna-Louise Coleman.

I have a feeling that this is going to be a mighty fine Christmas indeed!
